	''The Factol's Manifesto'' strongly implies that this Faction may actually be a long-running ploy on Skall's part to ultimately build an army of the undead so massive he can forcibly extinguish all life throughout the cosmos. He genuinely believes the nonsense he's babbling about life being suffering, but that still makes it a ~~conjob~~ on at least some level.

			Though they profess staunch neutrality, the Dustmen really don't like any of the other Factions, though the [[Doomguard]] and the [[Bleak Cabal]] are the closest to earning what passes for Dustman approval, given their mutually fatalistic outlooks on reality. Which is fair enough, as pretty much nobody likes them; it's simply the fact they don't go picking fights and their self-appointed task of collecting & disposing of Sigil's dead from their home base of the Mortuary that leaves the other Factions content to let them just get on with it.

			The Dustmen's membership is predominantly comprised of humans, [[tiefling]]s and [[half-elf]]s, especially those with planar backgrounds - this isn't due to prejudice, just that the philosophy of the Dustmen tends to be most appealing to races with particularly short and/or hard lives. As mentioned above, they all benefit from what the Dustmen call the Dead Truce, which compels mindless undead to ignore them, but what they keep secret is that they can also gain the power to command undead as if they were a Neutral [[Cleric]] once they reach the 4th Circle. The downside to membership is that, of course, any raise dead type effects have a flat 50% chance of failing.
